The
LoveHKFilm AwardsThe criteria for selection or
the method to the madness

Top Ten Movies of the
YearThese ten movies were good. Previously, only five movies
were honored, but this category was expanded in 2004.

Bottom Five Movies of
the Year These ten movies were bad. Previously, only five movies
were honored, but this category was expanded in 2004.

Best Male Performance Given to the Best Male Performance. Created in 2004.

Best Female Performance Given to the Best Female Performance. Created in 2004.

Greatest Performance Ever Given to a performance which struck our panel as being
exceptional and/or worthy of note. This award was retired
in 2004.

Most Charismatic PerformanceThe winner of this award delivered a performance which
possessed exceptional charisma, i.e. they made audiences
like them. Lifetime achievement winners: Chow Yun-Fat.

Funniest Performance This performance caused much laughter. Stephen
Chow never wins this award because it would simply
not be fair. Occasionally this award is given to an unintentionally funny performance. Donnie Yen would be a good example.

Most Lovable Given to the year's most cuddly and/or adorable
performer. Winners of this award have tended to be
female, though in 2006, a male won the award. Fittingly,
he was a baby.

Most Underrated PerformanceThe winner of this award delivered a fine performance
which was not recognized as such. Or, they were recognized
and the panel of judges simply didn't know about it.

Worst OveractingThis performance was overdone, obnoxious, egregious
and/or just plain wrong. Al Pacino could win this award
many times over.

Most Annoying Performance
Sometimes a performance will bother the living crap out
of you. This award goes to that performance. Lifetime achivement
winners: Dayo Wong, Nat Chan Bak-Cheung, Dicky Cheung Wai-Kin.

Taking up SpaceA popular award given to actors who occupy space
with little or no craft, effort or talent. Lifetime
achievement winners: Ekin Cheng, Michael Wong.

Missing in ActionGiven to a film professional who has made a welcome
return after a noticeable absence. Everytime Maggie
Cheung makes a Hong Kong film, she deserves this award.

Career SuicideThis popular award is given to a film professional
who made a very dubious career choice. Lifetime achievement
winners: Anita Yuen.

Funniest Film This film caused an abundance of hee-haws, though it
does not necessarily need to be a good film.

Best Romance Not necessarily a love story, this film was able to
conjure up all those gooshy feelings which make people's
faces turn bright red.

Most Guilty Pleasure The panel of judges enjoyed this film despite
the fact that it may be: poorly executed, silly, politically
incorrect, or simply put, crap.

Biggest Disappointment This award is given to a film that did not live
up to its expectations. It may not be a bad movie,
but somehow we expected it to be better.

What the-? What occurs in the winner of this award is a mystery
waiting to be solved. Another possible name for this award
is "Most Bizarre."
